I just love finding healthy versions of classic (usually pretty unhealthy) meals and who wouldn’t want a healthy mushroom risotto? This is my own recipe that I threw together last night and it’s a winner! It is so easy, it’s ridiculous…

Ingredients

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

A little olive oil for frying

1 large punnet of mixed, chopped mushrooms

1,5 cups quinoa

About 4 cups of vegetable stock

1/2 green chilli

Handful of baby spinach

1. Fry 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil
2. Add a large punnet of mixed mushrooms and some mixed herbs of your choice. Cook it all up and set aside for later.
3. Cook about 1.5 cups of quinoa as per package instructions, but use vegetable stock instead of water
4. Add the mushroom mixture to the quinoa
5. Add some chopped fresh green chilli
6. Throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves to wilt
7. Serve with grated Parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a vegan version)

Serves about 6
